Karise Eden
Friday 3 July 2026 | $40 | Tickets Here
Karise Eden has one of Australia’s most distinctive voices, fusing blues, soul, country and raw rock grit.
Formerly trained as a folk and bluegrass musician (guitarist and upright bass player), Karise shot to fame at age 19 in 2012 as the inaugural winner of The Voice Australia. She shattered ARIA records when her debut album My Journey spent six weeks at #1 and went double platinum.
She’s since carved her own lane with the confessional Things I’ve Done (Top 5 ARIA chart), the defiant Born To Fight (Top 5 ARIA chart), and her closing-chapter style 2022 release Into The Black, which delivered an AIR No.1 single.
Onstage, Eden is electric. Armed with her guitar and a songbook that spans heartbreak, rebellion, self-deprecating and dark humour, and raw vulnerability, she moves effortlessly across genres.
Selling out venues across Australia for over a decade, Karise’s live shows are renowned for their honesty, wild vocal power, and the way she holds a room in the palm of her hand.
New music and collaborations are currently in the works and set for release in 2026.
